Google Cloud Reviews

We use the solution for extended storage or for data. It's a platform that we use for storing documents and migrating proposals. If you want to move a document from one database or person to another, you can use data as a place to hold it and keep it secure. 

I like the Drive. It's easy to use. 

It is scalable.

The solution is pretty stable.

The product isn't too expensive. 

The subscription is expensive, and the data on offer can be too small. If you don't have the right size, it will delete what is over the allowed amount. If you go over your allotment, they want you to extend it, and you need to keep paying extra. Otherwise, you lose access to stuff that is over the storage limit. 

It is complex to set up.

We'd like Google to add more storage to the license the longer you use it. 

I've used the solution for a while. I've used it since my college days. 

The solution is stable as long as you have the right subscription. Every month, you need to make sure you have enough storage.

It is scalable for my needs. You do have to pay more to scale. However, it's mostly affordable to do so. 

I'm the only user. I use it for my own personal purposes. 

I've never used technical support. 

I've used Microsoft previously as well. 

The initial setup is not exactly straightforward. It's a bit complex. 

You have to be careful you are ensuring enough storage is there or being added. If you don't take a proper subscription, data will be removed. 

I can do the deployment by myself. 

I've not looked into ROI. 

You do need to take a subscription. If you do not, your data can be deleted. You need to keep buying more and more storage as you grow. The licensing is paid by myself monthly.

It's not too expensive. I'd rate it eight out of ten in terms of affordability. The price isn't the factor. The storage is the issue. They need to have more storage available and constantly added. 

I'm an end-user.

I am using the latest version of the solution. 

I'd recommend the solution to other users. I've recommended it to my colleagues. It's a good way to distribute data. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

We used Google Cloud for to host our automation platform.

Google Cloud performs well. 

I would like to see more code generation features that enable you to take user input in simple English and automatically convert it to code. 

I have been using Google Cloud for four years.

I rate Google Cloud eight out of 10 for stability.

I rate Google Cloud eight out of 10 for scalability. 

The IT team centrally manages the deployment and gives us access to the instance that hosts the automated platform.

I rate Google Cloud seven out of 10. It increases the efficiency of any user to have a solid technology platform. You get the advantage of auto-scaling and upgrades to the latest technology. 

We primarily use the solution for small applications. There are also a few web applications with Angular.

I'm very happy with Google Cloud. Everything works. For us, the solution is very easy to use. We have the right skillsets for it.

Users find it easy to work with it. 

I don't need to create an API layer since it automatically creates it for me.

It offers a real-time database, so we get updates really fast.

The Firebase database is great.

The tutorials people can find online are good.

The solution offers fair pricing.

It's pretty stable.

The solution can scale well.

It offers a simple initial setup.

There is only one issue that I have and it is when you create an account, they limit the number of accounts you can create.

The documentation could be better.

The backup needs improvement. I would prefer to do a one-piece backup solution where I can schedule backups.

It's just too complicated to migrate from one Firebase database to another. It should have been easy.

I'd like to see something like an exchange server, a managed email server, where I can handle other clients. I'd like something similar to Microsoft Exchange yet something that is like a fully managed email service.

I started using the solution maybe four years ago.

The stability has been great. I'd rate it ten out of ten. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. I've had no issues. 

It's a very scalable solution. I'd rate its ability to expand at a ten out of ten. 

We took a managed server, so it automatically scales. We've had a case where there were a thousand users streaming videos, and it all works fine.

We have 1200 users for one application. That said, we have a few applications and they all have varying amounts of users. It's likely around 1,000 users per app.

It's in our roadmap to increase usage.

I have tried Google support. I did send emails and never got a response for some of them. Compared to AWS, AWS has the best technical support and Google's is weaker.

Positive

We're also using AWS.

For Angular apps and for real-time apps and for real-time apps, Google Cloud is much better. When it comes to cleaning lambdas and small APIs, AWS is better. And the only thing I would say AWS is better is technical support. The support is 24 hours, and they're always ready to help. Google is less expensive, however.

The solution is straightforward to set up. I'd rate the ease of implementation nine out of ten. It's a cloud product. It's very easy.

Once you know what to do, the deployment is very quick and really easy. It's like one command line that you do to deploy. It only takes a minute.

We've got a repo. However, the deployments are done manually with just one command. They build locally and deploy manually.

Just one person managed the deployment process. 

Everything is implemented in-house. We did not need outside assistance. I was able to handle the deployment myself. 

Something that used to take six months might now only take two weeks. That's quite a change and a pretty good ROI.

I'd rate the pricing ten out of ten. It is an affordable product.

The cost might be $10 a month per user, which is about $300 a month in total.

We're a customer. 

I'm using a few of the services. I'm using the latest version of the solution. 

I'd advise new users to go through some tutorials. The documentation can be a bit hard to read. However, there are a lot of good tutorials out there. 

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten. 

I use the solution to deploy .NET applications to the cloud. I deploy Web APIs and console applications.

Cloud Run is pretty helpful. Pub/Sub is also helpful.

The product must provide support for .NET. Microsoft has support for .NET because .NET is a Microsoft product. We ran into an issue when we were waiting for Google to support .NET 6. Google is slower to support .NET. It must cater more to .NET developers.

I have been using the solution for one year.

I rate the tool’s stability a nine out of ten. We rarely had issues. We run our applications on Cloud Run. We had a feature in our software where we had to generate an Excel report, and it limited us to 32 megabytes. We had to work around it.

I rate the tool’s scalability a nine out of ten. Probably 100 users are using the solution in our organization.

We were using Azure before.

The initial setup is fairly easy. We have a tool called Jenkins to deploy the product. It only takes a few minutes.

The solution is cheaper than Azure.

Google Cloud came late to the game, so it's not used as much as AWS. We can give it a try because it's easy. It’s easy to configure. It gives us another option. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

I primarily use it for personal use. I mostly use it to access Google Drive. I use it for saving photos and sharing documents. 

It is very easy to share documents. 

It's very good for personal use for saving my own documents and files. 

The performance is very good. 

It is pretty good in terms of storage.

It is fairly secure. 

I don't have any notes for improvements. I don't use it too often. 

They could always offer even more storage at the base level. 

I've been using Google Cloud for 15 years. 

The solution is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. I'd rate its reliability ten out of ten. 

It is scalable. I'd rate the ability to extend ten out of ten.

I'm not sure who else uses it in my company.

I've never contacted technical support. I've never had any issues. 

I also use Microsoft for personal use. 

I've previously used Dropbox as well.

The setup is very simple. 

I use a free version. You can also pay for a subscription from Google Cloud as well. 

Since this is a cloud product, I am always on the latest version of the product.

I'd recommend the solution to other potential users. It is easy to set up. You can choose to have a personal friend and gain access to your documents from anywhere.

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

I was investigating a couple of machine learning files and I loaded them into the Google Cloud Platform. 

I load and edit notebooks and add more resources to increase computational power. It satisfies the GPUs, basically. 

I tend to use their standard configuration and focus on editing the notebooks. I do not use it in a production environment. 

The solution meets my needs for the most part. Everything I need is there, and it has an interface I am familiar with.

There is no downtime. It is very reliable. 

The UI is very familiar and user-friendly. I like ht interface. 

The configurations are very easy. 

Also, if you need to increase computational power, you can do so. 

I find the system itself to be very convenient. 

It is always easy to access. 

It's stable and reliable. 

The solution scales well. 

The product is very good. I don't have any notes on areas for improvement. 

Integration is always something that can be improved. 

I've used the solution in the last 12 months. I use it very regularly. 

The solution is extremely stable. There are no bugs and glitches and there is no downtime. I find it to be extremely reliable. I've never experienced any kind of problems. I'd rate the stability nine out of ten. 

I'm using the solution in the context of a small company, and I just use it on my laptop. Therefore, I've never pushed scalability to the maximum. 

I'd rate the scalability nine out of ten. The level of scalability on offer is very high. It has a lot of computing power. 

I've never needed the help of technical support. I cannot comment on their level of service. 

I have used other solutions in the past and was disappointed with how there was always something not working properly. Also, I did not like how I had to buy credits, which was time-consuming. I had to increase my credit in order to sustain an increase in computing power. Google Cloud is very reliable. 

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. I'd rate it seven or eight out of ten in terms of ease of implementation. It's not overly complex. 

It is available on the web. You simply go to Google's website and it is there and accessible. 

I'm an end-user. 

I am using the latest version of the solution. 

I'd advise others to try it out. They can use it with confidence. I'd recommend it to others. 

I would rate the product nine out of ten. It's reliable and scalable. 

We primarily use the solution for data. For example, we use it for email and Google Docs and sheets and content of that nature. 

I find that Google Cloud is easier to understand than other options. 

I like its product offering, which is simpler to figure out and automate.

The setup is straightforward. 

It is scalable.

The solution is stable.

Technical support has been good. 

I'm still confused by the usefulness of the cloud and I'm not sure why everyone is moving there. I don't trust the act of sending my company's information to whoever knows where instead of having it safe on my own servers. 

I find it hard to download items, especially on their operating system.

The Google operating system leaves a lot to be desired. 

It does not seem to provide any virtualization whatsoever.

I've used the solution for a while. 

The solution is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. 

Cloud providers like Google are designed to be scalable. The issue is you are supposed to be bursting at the seams before you scale and that doesn't make much financial sense.

The customer service is very good. 

Neutral

I'm also familiar with Azure. I've used Microsoft products for ten years or so, however, I find Google to be simpler.

The initial setup was pretty straightforward and simple. 

Pricing is pretty good. However, all cloud products offer pretty close to the same pricing. 

I haven't used a lot of cloud products and haven't experimented too much with Google Cloud, beyond playing with Google Workspace. 

From what I have experienced, I would rate it seven out of ten.

We have an ERP platform in our organization to manage things. Such platforms work well in medium and small-sized companies but we have a lot of modules and hence use GCP as a platform to deploy our web. We will also incorporate AI features in the future to improve the software.

The solution has improved our web apps so that we can have a canary deployment. GCP also helps us upload new features and changes to our software without impacting a lot of users with the network. The AI features have improved the software as well.

I have found the AI features, networking, and quality of Google products valuable.

The UI is beautiful but not easy to use, and also a little slow. Anything that you click is slow to load. It is also not easy to find something. I do not find the left-hand side menu good. We have a lot of options mixed there and we need the best way to deploy cloud resources. I prefer Azure ARM templates since their JSON files are easy to manipulate and integrate with other tools.

I have been using Google Cloud for four years.

The solution is stable though some of the features don’t work.

The solution is scalable. There are three users of GCP in my organization.

I am the solution’s administrator and have deployed it in my organization. The setup is not so easy. Following the steps that are shown on the screen is okay but the problem arises when we have to create new users. For example, it is not easy to get permission for creating service accounts for users. You have to edit the users, insert a lot of documents, and search the internet to find a solution.

There is good ROI with the solution because we have a lot of solutions and some of the features come for free. Even the paid features are priced fairly.

It is not easy to calculate the price of the solution from the pricing table since they are not standard rates. However, I find the solution’s prices to be fair and reasonable.

I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. The solution is easy to maintain. I would recommend anyone willing to try the solution to study the platform and do some courses on it. I studied the platform a lot before using it. If you do not study the platform, you will find it very disorganized and difficult to maintain.
